Yeah, I thought her [ab]use of the term might trigger you. I think her usage is just fine. Were she at my pub, I'd ask what the difference is between being pragmatic and being "textual" ... those liberal justices are probably "postmodern marxists". Pffft.

I don't think so, at least not in a naive sense. I've never been to Bible School. But my Church of Christ friend claims they were taught to "read through" the text, like a good modernist. So, they were very tolerant of metaphor. The grape juice and crackers were *not* actual blood and flesh. At least *some* subset of the protestants aren't batsh¡t.
